Anthony Caravella spent nearly 26 years in prison for a 1983 murder he didn't commit. He can't get that time back. But a federal jury ruled Caravella should get $7 million from two former Miramar cops who railroaded him.
If there was true justice in the world, or at least poetic justice, William Mantesta and George Pierson would start forwarding their monthly pension checks (worth a combined $11,746) to Caravella straight away. Instead, there will likely be a drawn-out appeals process and a battle over whether the city's insurers pay Caravella or whether the former detectives must personally fork over whatever assets they have.
At this point it's unclear how much Caravella, coerced into confessing to rape and murder as a mentally challenged 15-year-old, will actually recover.
But this much is clear: Something went very wrong in his case.
Just as something went wrong with other high-profile Broward convictions later overturned: Jerry Frank Townsend, Frank Lee Smith and Tim Brown. The police agencies varied, but the pattern was the same: mentally challenged, mentally ill or youthful suspects got jammed up by police and confessed, only to have DNA or other evidence clear them.
Caravella, 44, was released from prison in 2009 and his conviction was tossed in 2010 after DNA testing exonerated him. A person of interest who might have been the real killer died. A re-examination of his case was spurred by the dogged reporting of my colleague Paula McMahon.
I asked Caravella's civil attorney, Barbara Heyer, if DNA technology — which didn't exist when Caravella was convicted — would prevent future miscarriages of justice.
"Let's just say there are more checks and balances in place," Heyer said. "But unless police agencies hold officers accountable, then this kind of thing could happen again."
Two other cops sued by Caravella were found not liable by the jury, including former Broward Sheriff's Office detective Tony Fantigrassi. Jurors didn't get to hear about his involvement in other overturned conviction cases.
It doesn't seem there's much to dissuade police misconduct in the interrogation room. The two cops found liable in Caravella's case had lengthy careers, got promoted, earned healthy pensions. Getting cases cleared, not necessarily getting them right, was the priority.
And even though some may feel what happened to Caravella was a crime, it's hard to bring charges against officers so long after a case, especially when criminal juries tend to give working cops the benefit of the doubt and the threshold for guilt (beyond a reasonable doubt) is a lot stricter than civil cases (a preponderance of the evidence).
Mantesta, 63, retired from the Miramar police after 22 years in 1993 and gets an annual pension of $27,589. He went on to work as a state corrections officer and ran a land-clearing company. Pierson, 63, took a disability retirement benefit in 2008, after 34 years with the force, which pays him $113,374 a year. He now works as a code enforcement officer in Citrus County.
It just doesn't seem right. These guys get to have second careers.
Anthony Caravella never had the chance at a first.

SAN ANTONIO — UTSA will look to bounce back from Thursday's 79-73 setback to Louisiana Tech when it hosts UT Arlington at 6 p.m.
The Roadrunners (12-11, 6-6 WAC) are looking for their first season sweep of the Mavericks (4-17, 2-9 WAC) since the 2008 season. The Birds topped UT Arlington in the Southland Conference Tournament that season as well.
Meanwhile, UT Arlington (4-17, 2-9 WAC) is coming off a 73-72 overtime win at Texas State on Thursday, which snapped a nine-game losing streak.

Noah Sharpe carefully surveyed the offerings in the 4-H pumpkin patch Saturday at Lampe Park.
The 6-year-old took third place in the pumpkin run and got his choice of pumpkins.
"He's going to be here a while," Noah's mother Stacy said. "He has a hard time making a decision."
Moments later, the proud racer dashed out of the patch with his three-pound prize.
"I like this one. It has a big stem," Noah said. "I'm going to make a face on it. It's going to be a scary face."
Close to 100 children participate in the pumpkin run each year …

How's everyone doing!
I've been reading the boards for a couple of years now but never registered till' today.
I'll start off by saying I believe in the Kings this year. Yeah, they started off bad but they could turn it around. I don't mean Stanley Cup finals but hopefully not a last place finish! Been a fan since 2002 when Mike Cammalleri was taken by the Kings in the draft and I'll admit that I started watching the team since myself and Mike are cousins. I get in touch with him once in a while but it's tough since I'm half way across the continent in Montreal. I also met Bernier when he was younger playing against my brother's team in Laval. Great attitude and I can't wait for him to start for LA in the future.
Finally, I'll end by saying my favourite player on the team is without a doubt Anze Kopitar. He is beautiful.
Nice meeting you guys and I hope to fit in to the LGK family nicely!

Packers vs. Saints: 5 Things to Watch in Green Bay's Week 1 Matchup
By the time the dust had settled on the second half of a Monday night onslaught, the scoreboard at the Louisiana Superdome read as follows: Saints 51, visitors 28.
Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints had turned a 21-21 tie into an old fashioned blowout, scoring four touchdowns in the final 30 minutes of play against a Packers defense that had held up so well just a year before. Brees was deadly efficient that entire night in Novemeber 2008, completing 20-of-26 passes for 323 yards and four touchdowns—two of which went for 70 yards.
The 51 points was the beginning of the end for both Packers defensive coordinator Bob Sanders, who was fired after the season, and the Packers playoff chances. After coming into the game 5-5, the Packers left New Orleans beaten and battered at 5-6, limping to a 6-10 finish in Aaron Rodgers' first season under center.
While the mastermind behind that disastrous performance is gone, the memory of that debacle in New Orleans still remains fresh in the minds of most of the Packers defenders who suffered through that Monday night embarrassment.
Thursday night's Packers vs. Saints opener doesn't serve as a rematch, per se, but the Packers are determined to prove that their new defensive scheme under Dom Capers is more than capable of stopping a Saints' offense that's still led by Brees and still as explosive as it was in 2008, just a year before they were to become world champions.
Here are some other things to watch in the Saints-Packers matchup:
Dealing with the hoopla
With hosting the NFL's season opening Thursday night game comes all the bells and whistles of a defending Super Bowl champion. It's the only game on for the national audience, who by now is starving for regular season NFL action. There is the pregame concert, with Kid Rock and a number of other entertainers scheduled to perform in front of stadium. The Packers will unveil another championship year on Lambeau Field's facade. Jordin Sparks will sing the National Anthem. There is a ton of fanfare and media reporting before and after the contest.
All this could lead to an overwhelmed team that's just seven months removed from reaching the peak of the NFL. And of course, the Saints have been there and done that after winning the Super Bowl the year before the Packers. They played the Vikings last September in the Thursday night opener and beat Minnesota. That experience should give the Saints a definite advantage in terms of dealing with the spectacle of the game, right?

This was the best part of my order from this company. The ring had to be changed out. I have a car fob and the ring that was used wouldn't move freely with the fob. But after changing it, I really like it.
This is so adorable and quality of leather is fabulous.. Luv it

A Michigan sporting goods retailer will help a northeast Fort Wayne shopping center round out its roster of tenants as it looks to rebound.
Waterford, Mich.-based Dunhams Sports will join Toys R Us and others at the Glenbrook Commons shopping plaza sometime later in the year, according to a statement from the propertys new owners.
Bon Aviv Investments LLC of Englewood, N.J. and Johnston, Pa.-based Zamias Services Inc. have teamed up to purchase the site from CB Glenbrook LLC of Chicago for an undisclosed sum. The Allen County Assessors Office lists the 254,000-square-foot propertys value at $7.5 million.
This is not the first time the companies have paired up. Last year, Bon Aviv and Zamias purchased five shopping centers for $68 million, according to Zamias website.
West of Glenbrook Square, Glenbrook Commons has dealt with the departures of Linens N Things and discount retailer Steve & Barrys. Both filed bankruptcy and decided in the fall of 2008 to liquidate.
Representatives of Bon Aviv and Zamias were not available for comment Monday. Officials at CB Glenbrook LLC could not be reached.
Amit Barnoon, CEO of Bon Aviv Investments, said in a statement Monday that Fort Wayne is a viable area. He said the nearby SportOne Parkview Fieldhouse will mesh well with Dunhams, a sporting goods and apparel retailer.
Dunhams is a full service sporting good super store that will occupy 66,000 square feet and be a perfect complement, Barnoon said. Fort Wayne is a strong retail market and we look forward to bringing new retailers to the property over the coming months.
Glenbrook Commons is the second shopping place in Fort Wayne to recently land an anchor tenant. In December, Glenbrook Square announced it inked a deal with Carsons department store to fill a spot vacated by Marshall Fields in 2005. Remodeling of the 122,000-square-foot site will begin in February.
It is unclear where in Glenbrook Commons Dunhams will reside.
Dunhams, one of the nations largest retail sporting goods chains, was founded in 1937 in Detroit as Dunhams Bait and Tackle and has grown to more than 150 stores in 16 Midwest and Southern states.
At a glance Bon Aviv Investments LLC is a privately held joint venture between Aviv Arlon Ltd. and Bon Investments Ltd.
Zamias Services Inc. is a full-service real estate company has developed more than 30 million square feet of retail space. The current Zamias portfolio of assets consists of 43 shopping centers, totaling over 12 million square feet, in nine states.

MONTGOMERY VILLAGE – Despite a game-high 21 points from sophomore guard Danielle Durjan, the Watkins Mill Wolverines fell to visiting Tuscarora Friday night in a first round playoff game, 72-53.
Watkins Mill senior Angel Hall finished with 12 points in her final high school appearance. The Wolverines finished the season at 10-13.
Tuscarora was led by standout juniors Shania Johnson and Katherine Moore who each scored 18 points in the win. Tuscarora senior Caitlin Cavin finished with ten points.
Johnson, a 5-foot-2 point guard who is Frederick County's leading scorer, showcased her deft passing and shooting skills during the game. She scored 14 of her 18 points after intermission and set up teammates for open shots throughout the contest.
Tuscarora jumped out to a 20-7 first quarter lead but Watkins Mill stormed back, outscoring the Titans 16-9 in the second quarter to cut the deficit to 29-23 at the intermission.
Tuscarora held a 40-35 advantage with 3:40 remaining in the third quarter but closed out the period on an 8-4 run that was punctuated by Cavin's 3-pointer at the buzzer.
Tuscarora first-year head coach Robbie Turner said Cavin's three-point shot gave the Titans "a great boost because they were all excited about that and knowing that I don't like my post players to shoot threes so to have that that's huge."
Johnson accounted for eight points in Tuscarora's 10-0 run at the start of the fourth quarter and helped the Titans advance.
Watkins Mill head coach Ivan Hicks said he's optimistic for next season with the return of Durjan, junior Chantelle Nazzal and talented freshman Lauren Montgomery.
"Lauren's going to be a very good player here," said Hicks.

Alexandria, Va. - June 8, 2012
The U.S. House of Representatives has passed H.R.436, the Protect Medical Innovation Act of 2012, which includes a repeal of an Affordable Care Act (ACA) provision that prohibits using funds from flexible health spending accounts (FSA) and health savings accounts (HSAs) to buy over-the-counter (OTC) drugs without a prescription. The OTC repeal provision had been previously introduced by Rep. Lynn Jenkins (R-KS). The National Community Pharmacists Association (NCPA) is part of the broad and diverse Health Care Choices Coalition that sent a letter to the U.S. House Ways & Means Committee leadership expressing support for the repeal as the bill was being considered. The policy went into effect Jan. 1, 2011 and the coalition has opposed it from the start.
"We commend the U.S. House of Representatives for voting to restore patients' ability to purchase OTC medications through their FSAs and HSAs without the inconvenience of first getting a prescription from a doctor's office," said NCPA CEO, B. Douglas Hoey, RPh, MBA. "These commonplace and inexpensive medications provide significant relief from pain, allergies and other ailments and may help avert the need for more expensive medical treatment. For the sake of patients we need to return to that dynamic."
The coalition letter provides many facts to substantiate why Congress needs to rescind the current policy. For example, "OTC medicines contribute a total of $102 billion each year in savings and cost avoidance in the healthcare system." The reason the demand for change has such strong support is also found in the number of people affected by the onerous requirement, because about 19 million working Americans rely upon the voluntary contributions of pre-tax dollars for FSAs and HSAs to, "help meet their basic healthcare needs, including the purchase of safe, affordable OTC medicines." As further proof of why the policy is so problematic the letter notes that, "A 2010 survey found that more than 90 percent of Americans prefer to seek treatment with OTCs before seeing a healthcare provider. At the same time, nearly 90 percent of the physicians and pharmacists surveyed recommend that patients self-treat with OTC medicines prior to seeing a doctor."
The National Community Pharmacists Association (NCPA®) represents the interests of America's community pharmacists, including the owners of more than 23,000 independent community pharmacies. Together they represent a $93 billion health care marketplace, dispense nearly 40% of all retail prescriptions, and employ more than 315,000 people, including 62,400 pharmacists. Independent community pharmacists are readily accessible medication experts who can help lower health care spending. They are committed to maximizing the appropriate use of lower-cost generic drugs and reducing the estimated $290 billion that is wasted annually by improper medication use.

The doctor Brown's bottles are exellent for preventing exess air and gassy upest tummies. But if you are going to be switching from breast to bottle, using a bottle that is "formed like the breast" is a good way to go. I switch between breast and bottle, not just for supplementing with formula, but you know, like when you are away at work. Anyways, I found that playtex ventaire advanced are really effective! They are much wider and have a smaller nipple protrusion, so baby has to work at using the bottle like he/she would with the breast. It's a slower flow naturally because of the shape, wich makes it more like breastfeeding. also the ventaire helps to prevent gassiness and tummy upset by allowing for air to vent. It seems like the bottle would leak when you look at them, but they are rather effective! Good luck and God bless
I have 2 boys and have tried different bottles with each of them. the playtex drop ins seem to work the best and we have had very little trouble with gas and colic. its very similar to breast feeding and super easy to clean them. its nice to be able to get the air out of the bottle before feeding, that way baby doesn't suck a bunch of air! my 2nd son has had issues with colic and these are the best bottles we have tried! good luck in your search. sometimes it takes trying a few different ones to find the right fit for your baby, they have their own opinions too!
I just had my 3rd child in November and each one of them have had no problem with using the Playtex bottles. I have both the drop in liner bottles and the vent-air bottles and love both of them. Also like that I can switch out the nipple between the two different kinds of bottles they offer. I have many friends that have tried the Avent brand and all of them didn't like them and switched, which can be very costly. I like the Playtex brand because they are easy for baby to adjust between breastfeeding and bottle feeding. I would avoid Avent and also a smaller nipple bottles as the wider nipples like on the playtex drop ins or wide vent air are more like the breast. Good luck with your baby and bottle decision!!
With my last baby which is now 2 months old. I use the Playtex Drop In bottles. I love them and they are easy to use.
i breastfed for the first week then switched to a bottle. my son wouldnt take any bottle for 3 days. i wasnt making enough milk (he was a big baby). so his pediatrician recommended playtex drop-ins. at first i was like oh great i didnt want to deal with those. but now i LOVE them! its so simply to just throw some drop-ins in the diaper bad with a bottle of water. you dont have to worry about have a clean bottle every time. just change the drop in and scald the nipple. so easy! my baby has hardly any gas bc the liners collpases as he sucks. the only down fall is not really knowing how much he drank. but i can live with that to have a happy healthy baby. dont knock it until you try it!
I tried the Avent and was very disappointed in them, they were great 4yrs ago but the ones now caused a ton of gas for my little one. I use the Playtex drop ins and we have had no problems, we are short on storage so using the liners are great for us and we travel a lot so it's more convient I just buy extra nipples to change out instead of the entire bottle. Hope this helps, also if you are looking to save money I would just buy the bigger size and not waste your money on the smaller bottles, you will eventually be up to the bigger size around 4-5 months anyway.
I breastfed my Daughter, and we tried to use Dr. Browns (too many pieces and a pain), Avent (leaked out the side), and Playtex Ventaire. The Playtex worked the best for her when I was not nursing. You may want to get one small bottle of each type, and go from there. Also, some places like motherhood maternity, babies r us, and buy buy baby give you samples if you ask (or register).
we use Dr Browns bottles. We used them when I had my daugher and now with my son and they work wonders wouldn't chose any other brand of bottles. Although they may have a lot of parts to clean it's well worth it.
Dr. Brown Bottles and or Avent bottles....no gas/fussiness
tommee tippee bottles are the best i wish i hade them with my girl my son loves them so much
My son is a little over 3 weeks old and I am breast feeding him, however he is already up to 4 oz. per feeding (feeding about every 3-4 hours) and I can not keep up with him. I use the Playtex drop ins and it seems to work really well. As long as you squeeze out the air in the drop ins before the feeding, there is no issue with spitting up and gasiness.
I tried a few diffrent bottles from cheap to the expensive ones like Avant.. We tried the Dr. Browns and those have been by far the best. The only part i don't like is cleaning the extra parts. Buttt overall i love the those bottles and they work very well..
I highly recommend the MAM anticolic baby bottles..i tried so many but finally the winner out of all check it out online im sure you'll love them and their so easy to clean.
I haven't had much of a problem once or twice they have leaked but it was because I didn't place the white valve in right once i had it in correctly they worked great..my boy is now 8 months old and he loves those bottles I tried the Dr brown's ones and he didn't like them, i guess its the nipple that he likes from the MAM and so far no colic problems. the pacifiers are great too im looking for to their sippy cups.

- " I stayed in the 'Standard Cabin'--very small, but clean and efficient with working AC, cable tv, and a fairly comfortable bed. Bottles of purified water were nice. The shared bathrooms were always clean. The elevator was sometimes very slow. The 'power saver key' takes a little getting used to, but not a bad idea. The Gitane Cafe next to the lobby is priced a little high, but the food is good with interesting flavorings. Good location nIear Greenwich Village and the Chelsea area of NYC. "

- " I am old enough to remember sleeping cars on the railway (in Australia). The "Jane" rooms are just like them, but they don't sway and are clean and well-thought-out. I'd use them again when I go back to NY. (p.s. - check out the High Line Park nearby - who would have believed something like that in the middle of teh city) "

We were very well received by Rafael and his family. They are very nice and helpfull people. It is close to the harbor, restaurants, etc. The room is confortable with a king size bed, tv and AC. However, there are details that are not a big issue but can be improved: The breakfast is only served from 7am to 8am. There is no wardrobe. The bathroom is small and there is no place to keep the shampoo, towels, etc The room is clear due to the lack of curtain in the side window

Hostel was more in the price range of a hotel, we booked it since it was the cheapest on Hostelworld but there were many cheaper options available upon arrival in Galapagos. On a positve note, hostel was very clean, well kept & was relatively close to the main street... Would recommend that you look elsewhere if you´re a backpacker on a budget.

Mobile Home Titles
Mobile homes are titled in Michigan. Up until 1978, mobile homes were titled as a "trailer coach." Since 1978, they are titled as mobile homes. The title is identified as a "Certificate of Manufactured Home Ownership" or "Certificate of Mobile Home Title." These documents look like a vehicle title and serve the same purpose.
When a person buys a mobile home from a dealer, the dealer applies for the purchaser's new mobile home title using the Retailer Application for Certificate of Manufactured Home Ownership. When an owner sells their mobile home, they assign the title to the new owner. The new owner brings the assigned title to a Secretary of State Branch Office to have it transferred into their name. An S-110L Application for Certificate of Manufactured Home Ownership is processed at the branch office.
If your mobile home title is lost, you may replace it by processing a duplicate title application at a Secretary of State branch office. All owners shown on the title record must sign the title application and present identification. If an owner cannot appear, they may complete and sign an Appointment of Agent form designating another individual to sign on their behalf.
Replacement titles may also be ordered online through
ExpressSOS. They
can only be issued to the owner listed on the title document.

GCompris is an educational software suite with numerous activities for children aged 2 to 10. Some of the activities are game-orientated, but nonetheless still educational. These include computer discovery (keyboard, mouse, different mouse gestures), algebra (table memory, enumeration, double entry table, mirror image), science (the canal lock, the water cycle, the submarine, electric simulation), geography (place the country on the map), games (chess, memory, connect 4, oware, sudoku), reading practice, and others (learn to tell time, puzzles of famous paintings, vector drawing, cartoon making, etc.). It currently offers in excess of 100 activities, and more are being developed.
gjots lets you organize text notes in a convenient, hierarchical way. It can be used for notes, jottings, bits and pieces, recipes, and even PINs and passwords, using encryption. It can also be used to "mind-map" larger compositions like manuals, Web pages, articles, etc. It is a bit like the KDE program "kjots", but uses the GTK library and supports a hierarchy of folders. Files can be output to HTML with an automatic table of contents or to docbook XML. Encryption is supported with ccrypt(1), gpg(1), and openssl(1), so that musings can be kept private.
Alexandria is a GNOME application to help manage a book collection. It retrieves book information (including cover pictures) from several online libraries, allows you to search for a book (either by EAN/ISBN, title, authors, or keyword), can import and export data into ONIX, Tellico, and EAN/ISBN-list formats, generates Web pages from your libraries, allows marking your books as loaned, saves data using the YAML format, features an HIG-compliant user interface, shows books in different views that can be filtered or sorted, and handles book rating and notes.
Smuxi is an irssi-inspired, flexible, user-friendly, and cross-platform IRC client for sophisticated users. Smuxi is based on the client-server model: The core application (engine) can be placed onto a server which is connected to the Internet around-the-clock; one or more frontends then connect to the core. This allows the connection to IRC to be kept up even when all frontends have been closed. The combination of screen and irssi served as the example for this architecture. Smuxi also supports the regular single application mode. This behaves like a typical IRC client; it doesn't need separate core management and utilizes a local engine that is used by the local frontend client.
audio convert is a script that converts between WAV, Ogg, MP3, MPC, FLAC, APE, AAC, and WMA files. It has an easy-to-use interface that makes it possible to fill in the tags for a few formats, copy the tags from input files into the new files, and choose the quality of compression. The script was initially designed for the Nautilus file browser and can be easily installed into Nautilus by using the installer provided with the script. You can then right-click on files and choose "audio-convert" from the "scripts" menu. The script is also known to work on rox or directly from a shell.

Tried Magdaleno Italian Restaurant in Lincoln Park, MI tonight...
So I've often thought that Jane Slaughter (one of the Metro Times food critics) is either crazy, or just plain the opposite of me. I often think her "swoony" reviews are nothing great at all, and her "meh" reviews can tend to be quite great to me. Let it never be said that I can't admit when I'm wrong: Jane's absolutely on the money with her review of this place a week or so ago. I am not easily impressed, especially when it comes to Italian, but this place gets two thumbs *way* up from this guy based on my first visit. If you can get by the decor/building itself, you're going to be very, very happy that you went.
So let's start with that, then: there's nothing magical or romantic about the place itself. Honestly, as soon as you pull up, you get that feeling that it's another Generic Mexican Food Restaurant, because that's *exactly* what it looks like, even when you walk in. They're doing what they can to battle the effect, but it's there. Don't worry about it...it's not about the decor. Soon, you won't *care* about the decor. Really.
On to the food. Oh, the glorious food, the glorious *dirt cheap* food. I mean, dear sweet merciful heavens, the price structure is budget-friendly. Budget-friendly a la Zayeqa a couple years back.
Every entree, whether pasta or specialty, comes with either a cup of soup or a salad. There's always minestrone, chicken noodle, and a daily soup. When I walked in, the first thing I did when I walked up to the counter and asked to see a menu was what today's soup was. Was I ever pleasantly surprised when I heard the delightful young woman say "It's a carrot/ginger soup, and it's great!" Talk about a surprising soup for an Italian joint, but it sure had me intrigued and excited.
The first thing I had served to me was a nice little ramekin of a bean-type sauce which had some merit, served with a few pieces of toast points with cheese on them. I immediately asked if I could get some without cheese, which they couldn't do, but they did bring me some pretty good bread with some garlic butter as a substitute. Very nice of them to do that, and they certainly didn't have to, considering that it's just a nicety. A nice start.
Then that soup came. It's *always* gratifying when you realize you chose correctly amongst the choices, and I'm absolutely convinced that I did. That carrot/ginger soup was just so, so good. Wonderful, really, and could have been served any time of year, hot during this season, or chilled during the summer, and it would always be welcome on my palate. Always. It was the affirmation I needed that the chef really knew what he was doing in the kitchen. This soup was so good that I got a large to-go container of it for my girlfriend and her family. I'm certain they'll like it...we'll just see whether the whole container makes it to them or not. What a satisfying bowl of loveliness it was.
I wasn't sure of what to have for the main, whether a pasta or a meat course, but since the price structure is just so stinking gentle, I decided to go with Veal Marsala, as I'm an absolute sucker for mushrooms and marsala wine sauce. At dinner, this entree (with soup or salad!) along with some pan-fried diced potatoes, and perfectly cooked broccoli and cauliflower, is a jaw-dropping $12. For lunch? $9. I did not mistype there.
In a thought, this dish anywhere else would have been twice that price, and it would have been worth it. The veal was wonderfully tender, with great flavor, and the mushrooms and sauce were a savory-lover's dream. There wasn't a single thing on that plate that didn't make me very, very happy. I'm sure that those who know me know that I'm able to put away a good deal of food, especially when I'm hungry. I was, and when I was done, I was satisfied. More than that, I was just plain happy. What a great plate, stem to stern, and when I say it's a bargain, you *know* it is.
I was thinking about having some chocolate gelato at the end, but it wasn't made in house, and I was quite full. The tiramisu and cheesecake are house made, though, but I passed on dessert altogether. Still, it's a thought for a future endeavor.
The service was just terrific. VTB would be happy to know that the two servers on the floor were both of the PYT variety, but more than that, they were extremely pleasant, eager-to-serve/please, and they weren't afraid to ask the chef a question, nor to chime in when asked if they liked this or that. I enjoyed my interaction with them, and I tipped well (at these prices, how could you not?), even on the take-out, which I basically never do. My total bill, out the door, with my soup, entree with sides, bread with bean-infused spread, a large to-go container of the soup, tax and tip, was all of $22. I think the pre-tip total was $18.04, and I just upped it to $22. They earned it. The additional large soup was $5, plus tax. Again: bargain!
I cannot tell you how excited I am about this place. The talent level of the chef in the kitchen is so surprisingly high, and the digs are just so low-brow. It's very clean, but it's just about the exact opposite of the type of place you'd expect to find high-quality Italian fare. It's here, though. As I was thinking about it, I couldn't help but draw comparisons to places like Giovanni's, in terms of the quality of the fare. I don't know yet if the pasta dishes will be up to the snuff of Giovanni's, but I guaran-stinking-tee you that I'll be finding out, and hopefully soon!
*Why* do all these great Italian destinations have to be so far from my house in Waterford?
Sounds great boagman.
Here's a link to the Slaughter review:
Boy, this sounds like an interesting place. Great write up, by the way. Maybe if this Magdaleno gent makes good money down river he could start a place on the north side, too? (Yes, I gather he's currently living off of scraps.)
I got a kick out of how Jane Slaughter said, "Magdalena doesn't yet have a wine/beer license, but maybe guests might find a way around that." Have I ever mentioned how little respect I have for State licensing bodies? Those who take special interest money and then go shut down home-based unlicensed hair braiding businesses, for "public health protection." At least Michigan is making progress with the recent Cottage Food (license exemption) Law, or whatever it's called.
re: VTB
And see, for me, a guy who hardly ever drinks, the lack of a liquor license isn't any kind of problem at all. I'm not sure if it's forthcoming or not, and I honestly don't care if it ever does. To me, it's all about the food and the talent in the kitchen...and they've got that in spades.
Went back tonight, and while it wasn't as absolutely out-of-the-park an experience as it was on Thursday night, it was still plenty good. Very recommendation-worthy.
When I was there on Thursday, the place was pretty empty...almost worrisomely so. Only myself and a few other tables were occupied, sparsely. Tonight? *Wow*...what a difference two days can make! When I arrived tonight, the place looked pretty occupied through the windows. When I walked in, it was probably 90% completely full. There were gobs of people of all ages, including a very, very large party of what had to be 25 or so people taking up all the tables in the center of the room. Not that that's a problem for me, since I was able to snag the only remaining bussed booth, but for the kitchen? It had to be a major challenge...it's just not that big of a kitchen, and I'm sure that there's only so many staff. The large party certainly weren't the only customers, either. That place had to have had 50-60 customers in there when I got there. It was pretty chaotic, and they were dealing with it as best they could. I can tell you this: there wasn't a single customer in there that wasn't smiling and having a good time. They'd *enjoyed* themselves.
Still, the kitchen had obviously been deep in the weeds, and I was told that they'd run out of the housemade meatballs by one of the fellow customers. I was coming in at the tail end of what had been an obvious huge rush for the whole place, but everyone there was in a good mood. I did temper my expectations a bit as a result.
I started off tonight with a salad instead of the soup. The house salad I had was quite good, but had a bit too much dressing on it for my tastes...a lighter hand with the dressing would have been better. It also came with a slice of gorgonzola cheese on the top of it though I'd asked for it to be left out, and there was none of the crispy panchetta or egg in there, either. Not sure if they'd just run out, or what, but I was disappointed in the lack of panchetta. Still, it needs to be said: the salad was good, the ingredients were fresh, and I didn't have any problem polishing it off. It just wasn't on the same level that the carrot/ginger soup from Thursday was.
For my entree, I really wanted to give them a shot to impress me with their pasta. In general, I don't often order pasta as an entree because it's usually a one-shot deal wherein you receive a pasta with a sauce, and that's it. If you want something else to offset the taste or give your mouth a break between bites of the same thing every time, well, that's too bad for you, unless you order a side item a la carte. I find that frustrating, and it also prevents me from exploring menus very well.
Enter Magdaleno, and their Bis Di Pasta! Basically, it allows you to have two completely different pastas/sauces on one plate, effectively allowing you to traverse the menu. This is *especially* welcome if you're having trouble deciding between two different pasta dishes...why not both? That's exactly what I did, and I was again very happy with my choice. My two pastas were the Cavatelli Funghi and the Gemelli Norcina, both of which were very good, and very different from each other. I'll be the first to admit that the plating of the two isn't anything to write home about: the two pastas were just put on the plate divided by the middle of the plate. They actually touched each other, and the plate wasn't exactly pretty, but the tastes and textures were both very good. The pasta itself was plenty good, but it wasn't up to the standards of Giovanni's ethereal pasta. It would be shocking if they were that good, but they're still quite capable of producing their own very good pasta. It's just not a new benchmark or anything like Giovanni's is.
Afterwards, the place had cleared out significantly, and I decided to try the housemade tiramisu dessert. This was the only real disappointment. The flavors were all there, and they were quite good, but the texture of the thing was really wrong. It was just way too wet, and while I did eat the whole thing, each bite was just too, too saturated with liquid. Had the cake been drier, it would have been much better, but as is was, it needed some help. It wasn't bad enough to send back, but I would hope that future batches would be much better than this one.
The chef came out and introduced himself to me and another table or two nearby, and he was very gracious and accepted both compliments and critiques very nicely. I was still very happy with my meal tonight, but it just wasn't up to the home run standards of the first visit. Including dessert, my total bill with tax and tip included was $20 out the door, which was fine by me. I still liked everything I had to some degree, but the pastas were the winner tonight.
I really look forward to going back again...the service was good again, and I really think the kitchen has lots of talent. For these prices, I'm willing to drive.
re: boagman
Guess the secret is starting to get out on this place, no more waking right in on a weekend night. Glad they are starting to get busier even if it means a wait now.You can not find this quality of food at this price point elsewhere. Love this place seeing that it is a 5 minute drive from me down Outer Drive.
So now I've been here four times, last night with Donna. Still awesome...even Donna thought so. She had her ricotta ravioli with side salad, and I had the veal chop Milanese, with carrot/ginger soup. Total bill out the door was a dead even $34. And yes: the veal chop is the most expensive thing on the menu at $18, and it was great. Donna's pasta made her very, very happy.
Can't wait until my brother comes to town and we can all go there. Even my *very* picky eater SIL will be happy here, and that's saying something.
Have I mentioned that I like this place, that the food's to die for, and that it's ridiculously inexpensive?
re: boagman
re: VTB
re: goatgolfer
I've always been willing to drive a decent distance if the fare is worth it. It's safe to say that Neehee's in Canton is about the same distance from my house in Waterford, at least in terms of time in transit, but consider as well that Slows or Green Dot or myriad other places are well over 30 minutes from me...45 minutes one way just isn't that hard to talk myself into.
However, you're certainly right, VTB: it's much easier to justify a trip there if I'm already a goodly bit south on the map of the metro Detroit area...just like Bucharest Grill, Giovanni's, Mudgie's, and many others not already mentioned.
And GG: for heaven's sake, you *do know* that the first rule about eat club is "You Do Not Talk About Eatclub!" ;)
Went back tonight, and it's still great...but it would appear as though word is getting out about my little hidden gem. Tonight, a Monday night (by far the slowest night of the week for restaurants), the place was at least half full, and the parking lot was overflowing onto the side street.
As an indicator, when I've been there in the past on *any* given weekday afternoon or evening, there's been a maximum of, say, five tables in use while I was there. Tonight, there was probably close to a dozen or so in use, including an 8-person table, and I was the only solo diner in the place. The kitchen was non-stop hopping/humming, and the service was a bit disheveled because, as you'd expect on a Monday, they weren't expecting that many people. Service was still plenty good for me, but it was a bit on the slow side, seemingly, for the table of eight. Not that it could be helped, I don't think. They just couldn't have expected that many folks on a Monday.
Perhaps I'm making up excuses for them, but suffice it to say that I'm *severely glad* that people are finding out about this place. There were lots of happy people in there tonight, and I hate going to a really good place that isn't being supported. Maybe that's starting to change a bit, here. It'd be nice if it is...this place deserves a crowd to please.
Monday; lunch was my first opportunity to visit. At 12:20pm,
I was their 2nd customer. Shortly before I left, a 2-top arrived.
I splurged; knowing that dinner would be skipped. Calamari
appetizer was excellent - cooked perfectly. Would have liked
the accompanying sauce to have more zip. But I'm the guy
that LOVES horseradish and garlic.
Decided to skip the cioppino as I was worrield about
wearing my lunch to a customer meeting. I decided on
the seafood spaghetti. Excellent!
Service? Excellent!
The most negative thing I can say is that when my
waitress wrote down the WiFi password, it was illegible.
Gawd; I hope their lunch business improves.
I opt'd for the more expensive appetizer and
lunch. PLENTY of food. Out the door for $26
including a 20%+ tip.
re: rainsux
Glad you liked it as well as I do. Oddly, when I was there last Monday, I'd say at least half the tables were occupied, though I think it was a bit of a late lunch (somewhere in the 1-2PM range?).
The cioppino does get on you a bit...hard as I tried, I was doing *so well*, and then the last clam got me, of course. I will say that it was absolutely chock full of seafood, but it wasn't my favorite dish I've had there. I guess I found it a bit too one-note, but all of the seafood was cooked *perfectly*. Now you've got me wanting to try the calamari.
I'm glad you can see why I find this place so darned great.
OMG Exquisite Italian Meals Downriver YEA
Dinner starts encouragingly with garlicky cannellini bean dip, warm and thick, to scoop with crisp, thin crostini. Everything after just keep getting better ai tell you. The trained chef/owner worked for years at a number one Italian eating spot called Bacco as the head chef, he now plates up those same meals for less than half the price. I will state that this place will blow your mind as the very best ever downriver. The reviews around the web off off the chart great, once you visit you'll know why.
Tortellini alla Emiliana is a plate full of LOVE,,Pasta stuffed Ricotta cheese tossed in a light cream sauce with peas,green onions and Italian Bacon,, Whoa I licked that plate clean. Traditional Lasagna Bolognese is a house made pasta with meat sauce,ricotta and Parmesan cheese.
The soup Chicken Noodle was great and the house salad chopped and filled with lots of Love and topped with a this slices of a aged Parmesan cheese Oh Hell YEA. That fabulous hot fresh from the oven bread,,,bring me more please and yes they will. A spotless clean nicely decorated with fast and friendly service with a smile will get me back many times. The prices are lets say half the price of any other quality Italian eating spot, our 2 lunches with tip only $ 20, most meals for lunch are $ 7 to $8 and dinner $10 to $12. Come on folks you can't get a Big Mac combo for lunch at these prices. Give them a try people are driving from 30 plus miles away to try this great place.
Went again on Friday night and tried something new: penne Florentino, which was *so* right up my alley. Penne pasta with beef pieces and mushrooms with a *fantastic* demi-glace that worked perfectly with everything in the dish. Wonderful stuff...and had I not just gotten back from vacation in Tennessee I would have tried his sea bass special, but I just didn't want to spend that much money Friday night (it was $28). I'm sure it would have been worth it, though!
Still love this place to death.
Please check out my review and those amazing food photo's that I ate on my last 2 visits. ENJOY
Stopped by again this afternoon, and I loved every bit of what I had, *again*. This time it was a perch special he had served alongside a baby arugula salad with grape tomatoes and onion, with an olive oil dressing. Exquisite. The sweet butteriness of the perch was greatly enhanced by the bracing acidity of the arugula, and the housemade tartar sauce was great as well. $12 plus tax and tip, and served with soup or salad and bean dip with crostini. The only way it could have been better would be with the soup on offer being that wonderful carrot/ginger they have on occasion (they just had it over the weekend, apparently). Still, the minestrone was just fine by me.
It's worth noting that the menu has changed a bit. Prices have crept *just* a bit higher than they were, very justifiably in my mind (and you folks *know* how frugal I am). The steak prices went up $2-3 each, and several mainstays went up $1-3 depending on the time of day. From what I saw, no entree went up more than $3, which is completely reasonable...I think he was practically giving the stuff away. The stuff that went up $3 was the most surprisingly inexpensive stuff on the menu (steaks, seafood spaghetti, etc.). Most pastas only went up $1, or not even at all.
Still love this place. Had a chance to talk to Ernesto (I was there between 2-3PM) and apparently he's been getting bigger crowds, which makes me very happy. Be sure you support this place, as it's worth your time and money!
HOT NEWS in 2 weeks moving to a new larger location in Wyandotte, stay tuned for the new grand opening, located at 152 Elm Street in Wyandotte, will be the new location.
re: ALPOE
Wait...*what*? He's moving down *there*? Now? In two weeks? What's precipitating this move?
Wyandotte is...well, it's *further*. It's 10-15 minutes further. I can usually talk myself into going to Ernie's place if I'm down in the Dearborn area or whatnot, but Wyandotte is dead square in the middle of "Downriver And Not Easily Accessible To Freeways".
Any idea why this is going down? It's bad news for Budro, and bad news for Blank.
re: boagman
from their FB--
"We are so pleased an excited to inform you that we have a brand new address and will be moving shortly!! Our new address is 152 Elm St.,, Wyandotte (formerly Michaelangelo's) We finally have a beautiful building
to showcase our fabulous food!!!"
I agree with boagman! Ick! Further, and not convenient to eways-- or anything else. :-(
The WHY is the really outgrew the place and still can;t get a liquor license in Lincoln Park,,, Wyandotte's DDA has been working hard to get them in this former Italian place called Michelangelo's that just closed 2 days ago. They'll double their clientele overnight in Wyandotte which is truly the money pit of downriver. I'll be happy to drive a little bit further down the road. I think it's a great move for them.
Okay! So I stopped by Magdaleno at their new digs in ::cough cough:: Wyandotte. Here's the lowdown:
1. This is, quite certainly, a far better atmosphere for the food that Ernesto serves. This place is much, much nicer in terms of venue. This cannot be overstated enough. It's far better.
2. The talent in the kitchen is still the same. My veal marsala was, once again, terrific.
3. That same veal marsala is no longer a bargain. Remember less than a year ago when the same entree was $12? And then when the price went up to $15? Hope you enjoyed those memories, as it's now $17, which is decidedly higher. I'm not mad at them or anything, and yes: the new digs need to be paid for, but the fine-dining-for-a-pittance thing is now clearly behind them. Fair's fair, though: lunch prices are still significantly lighter/gentler, as the lunch version is $12. Still, prices on the menu overall are raised a good 20% across the board at dinner, and lunch is higher, too.
4. The service needs work. Perhaps I was just asking too much, but at the previous venue, my water glass never went empty, and courses arrived in a more timely fashion. I'm not even going to go into the problem they had taking my credit card (they had a new CC machine, and it was going bonkers on them, apparently)...but they've got far more waitstaff now. You'd think they'd be filling water glasses with regularity.
5. This is just my opinion: this new incarnation has Ernesto sequestered in the kitchen, which is no longer visible from the dining room. There's a loss of intimacy there, and I barely was able to let him know that I'd come to see him at his new digs. On the plus side, this location seems to be far busier than his previous one, as when I did a head count during my meal, there were about 35 paying customers inside, and that's quite busy for them, I'd say. Still: it was always nice speaking to the chef, admiring his handiwork, and talking a bit of shop with him. That seems to be going away, here. It's too bad.
So! To sum up: food's still great, prices are (again) higher, staff needs some work on pacing and observation of empty glasses, but overall, it's a good step up in terms of *where* you're eating. It's a nice place, and I'm hoping that it can do well, even if I can't be as regular a customer as I used to be. It's a *long* drive to get there, now...I'm not sure I'll be as motivated in the future.
Time will tell.
